Q + A

Can I drive my own car to the ceremony?

As we only have a few parking spaces reserved for our vendors at the Botanical Gardens, we will need everyone to travel from the Claremont Hotel on the buses we've booked. You can definitely park at the hotel and then take one of our buses from there. If you need any accommodations, let Gillian and Max know and we will ensure you are comfy and safe!

If I can't park at the ceremony location, where can I park?

We have discounted parking available at the Claremont hotel for $15/day. Valet is an extra $10 per vehicle. Please note that we have complimentary transportation shuttling everyone between the Claremont and the Redwood Grove on the day of the wedding (specific timing TBA). You can also request rideshares (Uber, lyft, etc.) from the hotel if you aren't driving during the weekend.

Is there a dress code?

We're not strict, generally we're looking for semi-formal attire. Wear what makes you happy, what makes you feel and look your best! But please, no white dresses ;)

Can I bring my kids? What about a plus one?

We've decided to make our wedding an adults only affair. If you have a plus one, your invitation will indicate it :)

What's the weather like in June in Berkeley?

For our Southern folks, be prepared to be a little chilly! Expect daily highs to be in the 70's, daily lows to be in the high 50's. The Redwood Grove (at the Botanical Gardens) where our ceremony is taking place will be shaded, so we suggest bringing a light jacket.
